last leg of this epic adventure! We started out by getting the coach washed at a truck wash in Coachella. Then we slogged through the California desert. Palm Springs, Palm Desert, etc. It's such a strange thing. When you are in those towns they are extremely lush, manicured and resortish. Golf courses and beautiful hotels. But from the freeway you can't see any of that. All you see is desert and wind farms. And of course some pretty impressive mountains.
And then in into LA traffic. We took the slightly longer route west on the 210, north on I-5 to magic mountain and west on 126, through Santa Paula (last residence of Steve McQueen) out to Ventura and up the coast. All that just to stay as far away from LA traffic as possible!
It was spectacular to see the Pacific Ocean after 34 days! We got home around 7:30 PM, ordered a pizza, checked in with Don and Kathy, and basically just sat and relaxed. There's no place like home!
p.s. be sure to check back in a few days because I am compiling a chronicle of all the breakage, mess ups, and damage done along the way. A blooper reel so to speak.
Happy Trails!
